Zoom, Logging In

How do I log in to Zoom?

IMPORTANT: First time U of I Zoom users need to log in via the Web Portal (or any Zoom integration using Shib SSO) to create their account.

***Do you have outside participants? They are still able to join University meetings! Outside participants will simply need to create a free Zoom account (at https://zoom.us/signup). Participants from other Universities and organizations with Zoom portals will be able to access meetings using their own account. Participants with a personal Zoom account will also be able to connect.

IMPORTANT: If you're having difficulties logging in to UIUC Zoom, please clear the cache, cookies and any old stored passwords in your default web browser and try again.

If you use a password manager like KeePass or Keychain (Mac) you may also need to locate and delete the old password there.
